Alright, it cost $40,000,000 each side in California Prop-8. We need
to formalize TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL MARRIAGE by spending whatever it
takes to pass in some state, the EIGHT FORMS OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE IN
THE BIBLE. Let's have this NATIONAL DISCUSSION!!!

The Varieties of Biblical Marriage
Polygynous Marriage -- it is where a man has more than one wife.
Levirate Marriage -- When a woman was widowed without a son, it became
the responsibility of the brother-in-law or a close male relative to
take her in and impregnate her. (Gen. 38:6-10).
A man, a woman and her property — a female slave -- The famous
“handmaiden” sketch, as preformed by Abraham (Gen. 16:1-6) and Jacob
(Gen. 30:4-5).
A man, one or more wives, and some concubines -- The definition of a
concubine varies from culture to culture, but they tended to be live-in
mistresses. Concubines were tied to their “husband,” but had a lower
status than a wife. (Judges 19:1-30).
A male soldier and a female prisoner of war -- Women could be taken as
booty from a successful campaign and forced to become wives or
concubines. Deuteronomy 21:11-14 describes the process.
A male rapist and his victim -- Deuteronomy 22:28-29 describes how an
unmarried woman who had been raped must marry her attacker.
A male and female slave -- A female slave could be married to a male slave without consent
Monogamous, heterosexual marriage
